I just love the Estée Lauder Company Store in Leesburg, Virginia. I find such nice things there, and sometimes, I buy an extra for a giveaway contest. That's how I came to have an extra Possessed by Pink Lip Kit. It was a limited edition when introduced.

The kit contains three lip colors and a lip brush and has a mirror.

Sweet Smile is a sheer, shimmering rosy-pink gloss.

Laugh A Lot is a sheer, medium rose-pink with a glossy sheen.

Tickled is a dark, plum-brown with a glossy sheen.

Anyone who likes M·A·C and looks pretty in pink should be delighted with this kit, which is now virtually impossible to find - except on eBay, where you can pay more than its original price. I like the kit and find the colors to be lovely, particularly this time of year.

How can you enter to win? Here's the "fine print."

There are a few simple steps. First, leave a comment on this feature. After you comment here, feel free to send me an e-mail at bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing an e-mail address you care about on a blog, so feel free to follow this step (an alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot com, in your comment). That's all you have to do to be entered.

You can earn extra entries. Follow this blog (through an e-mail subscription or though one of the many Google readers - see sidebar at right) or my Twitter account, @BTiBeauty. That will earn a second entry.

You can earn a third entry by tweeting this contest. Just make sure to include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) in your tweet. I will tweet the contest this evening, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second entry. Only one tweet will be counted as an entry. I appreciate multiple tweets, but it's not necessary.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, July 16, at midnight. The next day, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winner. I will e-mail the winner on Sunday. The winner will have 48 hours to reply to my message and provide a shipping address. After 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited, and another winner will be selected. Make sure to check your e-mail - and look in your spam folder - when the contest ends.

This contest is open to anyone anywhere. Here are the terms. I will carefully pack and ship the prize (as I always do). I cannot insure the prize for overseas shipment - it's amazingly expensive to do so because of the way I have to send insured mail. If it's lost or stolen in transit, I won't be able to replace it with another. I'll do my best on this end; let's see if your mail services do right by you on the other end if we have an overseas winner.

About 4 years ago, I became a MAC junkie, ya know the kind…..whenever a collection came out, I had to purchase the whole line. But in those days, there were basically 4 collections that came out yearly so although it still was expensive, I wasn't going into debt. Now, I feel like a new collection comes out every 3 weeks and most of it is more of the same. Pretty? Yes but certainly not necessary. I liked the older palettes so much better than the newer ones especially the ones that were designed with swarovski crystals. I remember when this lip set came out but I really loved it. I'm all about pink lips and every other color as well, but I think this set is really pretty and this compact is small enough to carry in any handbag. This really is a gorgeous prize and whoever wins it will fall in love with it upon first inspection. Thank you CharlestonGirl for another FANTABULOUS giveaway.
